Hack the Planet, and the Glitchet Forum!

This issue is about two things: hacking, and the Glitchet forum. I have so many hacking articles because I think hacking is simultaneously terrible and kind of awesome and 100% fascinating. I know a bunch of you think it's interesting, too, so - have some!

And another thing is that I've launched the Glitchet forum, which I'm really excited to present to you. Let's take a look at that now!

I'm super psyched to announce the brand new Glitchet Forum. If you love this newsletter and you'd love to meet some of your fellow readers, please sign up and take a look around! I made a thread where you can introduce yourself. The forum is for all of the topics you see in this newsletter every week - crazy futuristic news and discussions, end of the world naysaying and soothsaying, and neat software / hardware artwork. Come say hello!

I also created a step-by-step tutorial on how to datamosh for total beginners. If you've ever seen videos glitch out like crazy and wondered how that was even possible, you can learn from this tutorial.

Apparently there are only three dogs in the world trained to sniff for electronics! Scientists honed the dogs' senses of smell to certain chemical compounds contained within computer components to get them to find electronics.

Automobile companies are trying to figure out how to respond to the idea that their cars are now hackable; how do they message it to the public? How do they respond? How do they fix the issues without embarrassing themselves by sending 4 million USB drives with patches to consumers? All this and more, coming to a future near you.

The King of Spam is probably going to go away for a really long time, because he pathologically spams despite getting caught multiple times. Still, can you say that you sent 27 million messages of spam?

Way's Notes

Yo!

I hope you're having a great week! I am - it's my roommate's birthday. Happy birthday, Jorge! I'm also psyched that I launched the forum. I really hope to see you there! Not much else to say this week but seeya next week.
